What alcoholic beverage do you drink post-op?

I LOVE beer but bc it's carbonated I can't have it. ????????

I don't want nor need negative or rude comments. I like to have social drinks from time to time. ESPECIALLY since it's Mardi Gras! ????????????

Thanks for you help!

I am 6 months post op. I have yet to try beer. I have a very occasional glass of white wine and can barely tolerate it, as it sits right in my esophagus. i find it best to just not bother with it at all.

I do not know when you had WLS. I used to love an occasional beer but not any more. Wine is smooth and gives me heartburn. Margaritas made me gain weight. I want to drink but I am still trying to find that perfect alcohol.

I have had beer a couple of times, but I do try to avoid carbonation, so have really limited it to just that handful of times. I mostly drink "girly" drinks now post-op. I get drunk SUPER easy, so I can't do shots anymore. If I drink, it's usually some sort of mixed drink, but they have so much sugar, it's a very rare treat.

Maybe you can try a Bloody Mary. It has Tomato juice, so there is slightly something redeeming about them. I had two yesterday at a super bowl party with no issues, or then a buzz that comes on a little bit quicker. The tomato juice has tons of salt, so I wanted get on the scale the next day. I gained two pounds over night and only ate/drank like 1,200 calories for the day.

Not to people in weight loss phase. Alcohol does have calories, so watch you drinking. 400 of the 1,200 calories I had yesterday were drank, and I'm not talking about Protein shakes. Not a good idea to be doing frequently...

I drink beer or dry cider most days [in moderation of course]..

I pour both these over ice & that removes much carbonation.

Most English beers are carbonated much less & less filling than all the domestic type offerings.

They have a nitrogen/CO2 gas mix & one can drink that when out as straight draught or from cans that have widgets in them [when the tab is pulled there will be a whoosh as the beer become lightly carbonated & really creamy]. Then pour into your glass.

Easily identifiable cans usually 500ml @ the liquor store/s.

@@lsubabe33 I am a fan of flavored vodka and crystal lite lemonade. We went to a party last night and I drank Kinky Blue and Lemonade (they didn't have crystal lite) but I try VERY hard to stay away from anything carbonated. I have had a drink of beer and pop before and it gives me horrible gas and gas pains. That alone is enough to keep me away from the carbonation.

I'm looking forward to a very small glass of red wine with a meal.

Try brandy...you don't need to mix it with anything and it has no carbs.

Or vodka, gin, tequila, etc mixed with Crystal Light.

I am at 11 months.... have not done beer since carbonation worries me. I got for the gin and Water or a shot on the rocks. Less calories than beer and not worried about the bubbles.

And yes, I miss my champagne lots!!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
